Cute little spot!! Mixed match tables and chairs. It is a tight space but I think it just adds to the character. Everyone here is super friendly. Food is great! Major PLUS IS THEY ARE OPEN ON SUNDAY!!
We came in after the Saturday evening rush. Greeted by two smiling waitresses and also the “cook” who I assume may be the owner. The food was absolutely awesome. The ribs were smoked to perfection and the hushpuppies were awesome too. Will definitely come back next year when we’re in town.
Adventures in North Carolina BBQ! I’ve passed this place a bunch of times, either on the way to/from The Reeves Theatre in Elkin for open mic night (which is amazing btw) and also during the 21 Road market and other forays up to Elkin and points north. Old school NC BBQ joints are definitely my jam; I much prefer places like this to stuffy, nouveau-hipster BBQ and the Wood Box did not disappoint! I had a classic chopped plate with BBQ slaw (aka “Red Slaw,” unique to Carolina for the uninitiated) and Mac and Cheese. Also had one of their famous hot dogs (not pictured) - Carolina style (of course) and it was amazing. The BBQ was house hickory smoked and was of the superb quality you can expect from a family owned old school joint like this. Eastern vinegar and western hickory sauces available here…I tried both and for me the vinegar sauce slightly edged out its tomato based cousin. The hush puppies were sublime as well and the BBQ slaw equally delicious. BONUS: pretty much an inflation fighter too, as most old school NC BBQ joints are. So glad I finally had a chance to try this and I will be back! Overall: 5 snouts! 🐽🐽🐽🐽🐽
